In south people around 19 or younger are absurdly republican sadly. The whole "andrew tate" community and similar stuff.
That's just geographical politics. People raised in urban environments slant leftist because they are exposed to people living in preventable suffering and see how small acts at community level can meaningful improvements to the lives of less fortunate.
On the other side you have people raised in rural environments who either don't regularly see the less fortunate suffering, or if they do it's presented as self inflicted. The people suffering are lazy, unmotivated or just careless and splurge on recreation rather than requirements. Shows of wealth are common and celebrated while any form of charity is not targeted at local impoverished but rather somewhere abroad where no is going to see the result (all to often so it can be taken out of view and embezzled.) So youth raised in these environments slant right because they are being taught that anyone who works hard and commits themselves to living properly will get ahead, when the reality is everyone who is getting ahead is well connected and the hardest workers in the community are often the exploited working class who struggle to put meals on the table for their families.
